“…This makes them an excellent platform for studying a wide range of plasma phenomena, such as equilibration of strongly coupled plasmas, [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] ambipolar diffusion with 15 and without 16,17 a magnetic field, electron plasma oscillations, 16,18 Tonks-Dattner resonances 19 and edge modes, 20 ion acoustic waves, 21 an electron drift instability, 22 threebody recombination at ultracold temperatures, 13,[23][24][25][26][27][28][29] and the crossover to an ultracold plasma from a dense gas of Rydberg atoms. [30][31][32][33] Recent experiments creating ultracold plasmas in a seeded supersonic molecular beam 34 introduce molecular processes to the plasma evolution and show promise for yielding more strongly coupled systems.…”
